...you had at least 5 official cameras recording it, yet on the projectors you showed input from the cameras that also filmed the dancers' back....

Neither Mikepaws nor I am a part of CFz staff at this point, and our cameras were not official CF cameras. We're just filming for our own little projects.

I'm not going to argue this  here (I wanted to do that at EF forums, but EF staff simply placed their arguments and locked the topic like very mature people.

Well, thanks for dragging it out for more than a year. Now think again why nobody wanted to discuss things with you.

I hope that unlike EF, this will be on video/dvd one day.

EF 17 PPS has been released by Suran just 2 weeks after the con.

Okay, where to start....

First of all, FANTASTIC, FANTASTIC, PAWSOME, FURRIFFIC, GRRRRREAT convention!

Thanks to everyone for pulling that off. You switched locations just in time, I think one more year in that run-down shack that the Britannia was would've led to some people not returning. The new venue seems fantastic, the staff were nice and even when there were problems, very cooperative. The events I saw were great, I really enjoyed the pawpet show, the dances and the dance comp.

Now for the not so good things:

Free stickers after the Pawpet show:

Great idea gone terribly wrong. Doing this right at the exit led to two of the aisles being completely blocked, even for those who didn't even want a sticker. I had to wait roughly 15 minutes just to leave the room with no way of sneaking past the queue, it was too crammed - 15 minutes I didn't have at that time.

You may want to do that somewhere else in the future, at a place where people can gather and wait without blocking the exits. Consider the security risks, too.



Dances:

All in all I'm happy with the dances, but there was one thing that really ticked me off: You do not mess with the EQ settings while music is playing. PERIOD.

During my set, someone behind the main audio desk thought it was funny to repeatedly crank the bass up to the point where the music faded into an apocalyptic, distorted bass. No, it was NOT funny. It left me confused as to what was going on, what I should do, constantly re-tweak my EQs (which normally is not neccessary) and left the audience annoyed since it killed the mood and reduced the audio to a noise that obviously was painful to some.

Just don't do that.


That's pretty much all I have to say. I could comment on the video feeds on stage, but I already spoke to the people in charge, so that does not need to be repeated anymore.
